Hello! Another Portland Social Scene is here. All via by Leigh Friedman, who keeps you updated on all the fun that Portland, OR has to offer.
Again, I’ll be doing the uncool thing and watching the free screening of Battlestar Galactica at the Baghdad. Maybe there won’t be a line ’cause of the Watchmen opening. Fingers crossed.
I’d like to recommend The Gaslamp Killer at The Crown Room. He’s one of the resident DJ’s at LA’s Low End Theory which I mentioned earlier this week. He always spins a good set.
As well, Foundry Field Recordings will be doing a free show on Sunday at Rontoms will also be a good show.
I’m curious about the 10th Anniversary Tom Waits party, but that could be a little scary for a ton of reasons…
Anyway, remember that this list is a truncated version of the Life Is A Party list, provided weekly
Drop an email here to get the full list!
Enjoy your weekend!
